Milestones

You can create milestones to indicate important events or goals on projects. Milestones are single-day events that can be referenced in task dependencies.

In addition, if a milestone is date-driven, you also have the ability to lock dates on it. Milestones with locked dates cannot be rescheduled and will not be affected by dependency updates if a predecessor is moved.

Create a Milestone Through Task Details

Locate or create the task that you want to be a milestone and open its Task Details.

Double click on the Milestone field and select the checkbox. Alternatively, click Edit to enter editing mode and select the Milestone checkbox.

Add a Start or End Date.

Note: If a Start and an End Date previously existed on the task, once the task is converted to a milestone, the Start Date will be updated to match the End Date because milestonesare single-day events.

Click Save or Save & Close.

Create a Milestone in Plan View
